Hepatic Haemangioma Masquerading as the Gallbladder in a Case of Gallbladder Agenesis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Figure 1

(a) Axial T2-weighted half-fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo (HASTE) MRI image demonstrating a faint area of high signal in the area of the gallbladder fossa (arrow) adjacent to the second part of the duodenum (arrowhead). The radiological appearances are suggestive of a small contracted gallbladder. Although with the absence of a recognisable cystic duct, a surface haemangioma is a possible differential diagnosis. (b) T2 weighted coronal MRI image with fat suppression demonstrating a normal calibre extrahepatic biliary ducts (arrow). Note the absence of any cystic duct. Normal appearance of the pancreatic duct (arrowhead).
